HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WBTW) — More than two weeks after Tropical Storm Debby soaked the region, flood-weary residents in low lying parts of Conway and Horry County are only now beginning to fully dry out
Along Conway’s Riverwalk on Sunday, waters remained waist deep in some areas while residents in Lee’s Landing — where some properties were only accessible by boat last weekend — are able to get their cars back onto roads.
Cherrick Daniels recently moved to South Carolina and frequents the Riverwalk to jet ski or walk around, but hasn’t been able to do so recently.
“I noticed it was completely flooded. You couldn’t go to the playground, you couldn’t go to the pavilion over there,” he said. “I wanted to bring my jet ski out here, but I couldn’t, because the dock’s closed.”
Daniels hoped he’d be able to get back onto the river on Sunday.
“I was planning on seeing how it was, because I heard it was flooded,” he said.
Jet ski season typically ends on Labor Day, and Daniels wants to get back out before then.
